Rick Warren And Uganda's Looming Gay Genocide

As reported in a March 29, 2008 story from the AllAfrica.com news
service, in March 2008 Rick Warren attended a conference of Ugandan
Anglican Bishops who were protesting the Church of England's tolerance
for homosexuality. AllAfrica, reporting
on his appearance, summarized Warren's quotes as homosexuality is not
a natural way of life and thus not a human right, and directly quoted
Warren as stating, "We shall not tolerate this aspect at all."

To little notice, a charismatic network overseen by Warren's doctoral dissertation advisor, C. Peter Wagner,
has played a major role in politically organizing and inspiring the
Ugandan legislators who have spearheaded the anti-gay bill. Both Wagner and Warren have designed elaborate infrastructures for
blurring the lines between church and state. Wagner describes his
movement as the “New Apostolic Reformation” and openly espouses his
goals of reorganizing and mobilizing the church to take Christian
“dominion” over government and society. Warren’s movement is described
as a “second reformation” in the form of his P.E.A.C.E. plan, but his
goals of rapid “expansion of the kingdom” in Uganda and elsewhere
closely parallel those of Wagner's.
